Flea Market Finds


Sometimes you don't find things........ they find you*




It's sorta like fate


Like it was meant to be.


I received a phone call from a friend,


Who wanted to pass on some treasures

How could I possibly resist???

Visit Sophie for more of todays Flea Market Finds....

* I'm quite intrigued by the reels of cotton - they're all in a very similar colour palette, and I would love to know what they were originally intended to be used for.
